338 cal comparison

I wouldn't hold your breath for Lapua to release 338 RUM brass. I don't think it will happen, ever. It would canabalize sales of the 338 Lapua brass. The 338 Lapua catridge is a better designed cartridge. The 338 RUM is a more convienently designed cartridge.

The 408 is a mucho expensive cartridge. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

I am new to this board, and to long range, but I do shoot a 338. I love cal and would like to get out there and compete with the 300. Is a 338 AI a possibilty for reasonably savings? Do they have such a critter?

I have a 300ultra mag necked to .338 in a 30" stainless pac/nor match on mark X action.The barrel is a five groove 1 in 10
with #5 taper with a bit of free bore.I have pushed 300gr SMK's 3060fps and 200gr
nosler BT's 3500 fps. This gun will shoot subminute, a real performer at extreme range. I don't know very much about the game but you can't over look the 300 um case.I shoot just as good as anybody, just can't hit good as most!!
